My thanks to Bracken Helmes, the most disarming interviewer I've come across. Also, possibly, the most fun.

The Merkur gave me a chuckle. Growing up at a Ford dealership it was the forbidden fruit I wanted desperately in High School.

Here was mine, low mile garage queen. Sold because it was an autotragic.

914 is maximum minimalism.

Thanks for knowing, and for being here, Pete.

Very cool.

Here's the back end of my old 1989 in Stratus Silver...spotted years after I sold it due to a lack of garage space in San Francisco. The engine was a joyless anvil, but the handling and packaging were superb.
